Lazio defender Francesco Acerbi is in doubt for the upcoming Serie A match against Fiorentina.
As reported by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the 33-year-old Italian centre back is working hard to recover from the left thigh injury suffered in the 3-3 draw with Empoli at the start of this month.

It was a relapse of a previous issue and Lazio are now preaching calmness, not wanting to rush him back in case of further problems. Acerbi did not join his Azzurri teammates at Coverciano this week, instead choosing to continue his recovery work in Formello.

Acerbi wants to recover in time for Lazio’s upcoming Serie A clash against Fiorentina, scheduled for 5th February, but there’s still a good chance that he’ll miss the match. And even if he is fit enough to feature, it’s unlikely that he’ll start.
The 33-year-old Acerbi has made 24 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2081 minutes. In that time, he has scored three goals and provided two assists.
